Chapter Sixty-Two: Friends in High places
"This was the last time that blasted boy has escaped my wrath!"
"So what do you intend to do master?"
"Shut up Savage! I need to think and you're ruining it."
"Understood sir, perfectly clear, I will shut up…"
"NOW!"
"Of course sir."
As he paced down the small beach, Alvin the Treacherous took in every detail. Well, there was not much to take in.
After a while he swirled around to face his crew of battered looking Outcasts.
They had some hard weeks behind them but that didn't matter.
Their blood thirst was still there. Now even more, where they were closing in on their kill.
Still they had missed it by a few days.
"We obviously can't follow them, we'll get lost." He mumbled as his number one bootlicker Savage nodded agreeing and intended to say something but he cut him off before he could, "And they still have those dragons. Three by now. And that boy has his fire-powers." While saying that he patted his left arm that now ended in a silver hook.
They were forced to cut off his hand that badly burned it had been.
But he liked the hook. It suited him better.
Still.
He was out for revenge.
Not just for his hand but his ship, his honor, his men and some other things.
He turned around to face his crew.
"We go around, along the coast. Trying to cut off their path before they enter the eastern sea." He bellowed.
The helmsmen stepped forward.
"But sir, how are we going to do that? It'll take days to circle the whole land, no matter where we go!"
Alvin grinned, his eyes fixed on the metallic sea.
"Oh, then it's good that I have friends in high places."
He whistled sharply and from the depth of the ocean the long shadow creature emerged.
The Outcast backed away scared out of their wits.
Never had they seen anything like this before.
Alvin was laughing heartily.
"I think my friend here can give us a lift!"
AN: Because I'm in a great mood today here's another chapter. I've gotten two B's in my usually worst subjects. A reason to celebrate I guess :-D
See you around
